I think it's more about weak session-ID generation, though.

I keep getting confused between session timeouts and account lockouts. I guess indefinite session timeout doesn't really apply here, so I lean towards option B as well.

This reminds me of a practice question we did on failed login attempts. I think Robert's strategy is more about alerting for multiple attempts, so option B makes the most sense to me.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like session-ID generation is important too. Maybe options C or D could be relevant, but they don't seem to fit the scenario as well.

I remember studying about account lockout policies, so I think option B might be the right answer since it relates to preventing unauthorized access.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this. The question is clearly asking about the red flag related to the inability to verify the beneficial owners' identities, which is a major AML risk. I'll select option C.

I'm leaning towards option C because accessibility and resource management seem crucial, but I'm not entirely sure about the meetings part.

Bingo! The correct answer is B. Absence of account lockout for invalid session IDs. Gotta love a good security strategy that nips those break-in attempts in the bud. Robert's on the ball with this one.
